Experience the magical charm of Kerala as you journey from misty hills to serene backwaters and heritage towns. Starting from the lush green tea gardens of Munnar to the wildlife-rich jungles of Thekkady, then gliding over Alleppey’s peaceful waters, and finally soaking in the coastal beauty and historical treasures of Kochi – this 5 nights 6 days itinerary promises a perfect blend of nature, culture, and relaxation.
Welcome to Kerala. Upon your arrival at Kochi Airport or railway station, you will be greeted warmly and driven to Munnar. En route, admire the scenic landscapes filled with waterfalls, lush valleys, and spice plantations. Check into your hotel in Munnar and unwind amidst the cool mountain air.
After breakfast, set out for local sightseeing in Munnar. Visit Mattupetty Dam, Echo Point, Kundala Lake, Tea Museum, and the famous Eravikulam National Park where you might spot the endangered Nilgiri Tahr. End the day by relaxing amidst sprawling tea gardens.
Post breakfast, drive towards Thekkady, a nature lover’s delight. After check-in, you can enjoy a boat ride on Periyar Lake, spotting wildlife along the shores. Explore spice plantations and if time allows, experience an optional traditional Kalaripayattu martial arts show or an Ayurvedic massage.
After a hearty breakfast, head towards Alleppey, the Venice of the East. Check into a beautiful houseboat and cruise gently through the backwaters, passing lush paddy fields, quaint villages, and coconut groves. Enjoy a traditional Kerala meal onboard and a magical night on the water.
After breakfast, disembark and move towards the beautiful coastal cliffs (most likely referring to Varkala, famous for its cliffside beaches). Relax on the golden sands, admire panoramic ocean views, and explore the local cafes and shops lining the cliff.
Drive back to Kochi for a heritage tour before your departure. Visit Fort Kochi, Chinese fishing nets, the famous St. Francis Church, Jewish Synagogue, and the colorful lanes of Jew Town. End your Kerala journey with a heart full of memories before catching your flight or train.
